Center for Socially Engaged Engineering & Design, University of Michigan

We Research, Educate, and Practice The Center for Socially Engaged Engineering & Design (C-SED) advances sociotechnical thinking and skillsets of engineers and designers by creating evidence-based, transformative learning experiences for students, instructors, and practitioner learners. C-SED is dedicated to creating a future where engineers habitually integrate their technical knowledge and abilities with societal inquiry to constantly pursue holistic and sustainable technology solutions. We support this future by advancing the sociotechnical thinking and skill sets of engineers and designers by creating transformative learning experiences for students, faculty, and practitioner learners. These experiences leverage novel educational content, tools, and methods developed by C-SED in robust and reciprocal partnerships with its diverse community stakeholders within and beyond the University of Michigan. These engineering education experiences are rooted in our commitment to fundamental research and the development and application of evidence-based strategies for sociotechnical integration in curricular, co-curricular, online, and professional development settings.
